2. Analysis of the three major reasons why War Spirits retired from the circle
1. High-intensity live streaming leads to physical and mental exhaustion
According to fans, Zhanhunshang has been live broadcasting for more than 8 hours almost every day in the past year, and staying up late for a long time has caused frequent health problems. He said frankly in his last live broadcast: "My body can no longer bear it and I need to rest."
2. Game version updates affect content output
War Spirits mainly focuses on "XX Game", but after the recent game version update, its good gameplay has been significantly weakened. The data shows:
| Version update time | Character win rate drops | Follower churn rate |
|---|---|---|
| 2023-10-30 | 12.4% | 8.7% |
3. Competition in the live streaming industry intensifies
With the adjustment of live broadcast platform algorithms, it is becoming increasingly difficult for small and medium-sized anchors to obtain traffic. Zhanhunshang’s live broadcast data in the past three months:
| month | Average number of viewers | gift income |
|---|---|---|
| 2023-08 | 52,000 | 128,000 |
| 2023-10 | 31,000 | 64,000 |
3. Fan response and industry impact
War Soul Shang’s sudden withdrawal triggered a strong reaction from the fan base:
• The number of posts in a single day on Weibo Chaohua exceeded 12,000
• Station B’s farewell video has been played 4.8 million times
• The topic "Please return to the war spirit" organized by fans has exceeded 30 million views
Many industry insiders said that this reflects that the game live broadcast industry is facing severe challenges:
| Question type | Proportion |

| Unstable income | 58% |
| High psychological pressure | 72% |

The War Soul incident has sounded a wake-up call to the live broadcast industry. Expert advice:
1. The platform should optimize the health management mechanism of anchors
2. Anchors need to establish a diversified content matrix
